EP 252: Tyler Dawson: Why Alberta Separatism is Back
About this episode
On October 19, citizens in the province of Alberta will vote on whether they want to proceed with a referendum on separating from the rest of Canada. Our guest on the program this week has written a new book about the history of these tensions — and why they have now come to a head.
Tyler Dawson is an opinion editor at The Globe and Mail. His new book is The Republic of Alberta: An Idea That Won’t Go Away.
